Restaurants in Valletta. Fine dining & cozy places

Fine dining:

I highly recommend reservations in advance. Most of the places are full for dinner. These places are considered as the best restaurants in Malta:

The Harbour Club – located in a renovated warehouse, which was constructed in 1712, you’ll get not only the unique feeling of being in perhaps the most busy harbour during WW II, but also taste some exquisite cuisine. Indoor & terrace tables available.

Pepe Nero – restaurants in Valletta, St. Julian’s and St. Paul’s – their specialisation is meat (they have dedicated ageing rooms and get supply from all round the world), and also pizza for which they offer delivery service

Legligin – a small restaurant in the very centre. They don’t have a set menu, every day the chef prepares various fish & meat dishes, the place is recommended for those who want to sample a bit of all kind of Maltese cuisine

Guzé Bistro – located in a 16th century building, which was home to Francesco Buonamici, a chief engineer for the Knights of Malta

Gianini – a family run restaurant with views over the Marsamxett harbour

Palazzo Preca – known not only for their excellent seafood menu, but also for been found by two sisters in their mid twenties.

Rampila – restaurant, wine bar, terrace & exhibition centre in one! Located in a 16th century building between two bastion walls.

Cozy restaurants & eateries:

Several restaurants at Triq San Qwann and St. John square – sorry, my phone was already half-dead of humidity, I couldn’t mark the names under the rain, but you’ll definitely find them!

La Mere – try their fusion cuisine made out of Indian, Moroccan, Italian, Middle Eastern and other recipes

Trabuxu Bistro – a bistro, wine bar and a boutique hotel run by a husband & wife

Restaurants in Qormi village (in the neighbourhood of Valletta)

Nenu the Artisan Baker – a very popular and well-known for it’s authentic quality and warm atmosphere bakery. Here you can try all the famous Maltese ftira, sweets, starters and set menus (ideal for those who want to learn all about Maltese cuisine at a single dinner)
